Bøker av Florence Akin

"In these stories you will find some wonderful giants. You will find beautiful maidens who lived in a river. You will find a large family of little black dwarfs who lived under the river, and you will find a splendid hero. The little children of Germany used to curl up in their mothers'' arms, when bedtime came, and listen to the stories of these strange people. When these little children grew up, they told the same stories to their children. So it went for many, many years."
